NASHVILLE, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas couple was killed after a deer ricocheted off another vehicle and crashed through the window of their car, state police said.

The crash happened Thursday morning on Arkansas 27 in south Arkansas. According to a preliminary report from Arkansas State Police, a pickup struck the deer, which then flew through the air and landed on the car driven by Glenn Johnson, 59, of Nashville.

Johnson lost control of his car and crashed into the front doors of a Nashville building. State police said he was killed in the crash, along with his wife Margaret Johnson, 61.

Cpl. Robert Wilson of Arkansas State Police said the business wasn’t open when the Johnsons’ car crashed into it. Wilson said the couple was traveling with their two nephews, 10-year-old Dadrick Franklin and 8-year-old Ladarious Franklin.

The Texarkana Gazette reported both boys were injured and taken to Arkansas Children’s Hospital, where Dadrick was in critical condition and Ladarious was in fair condition.

Wilson said no one in the Johnson vehicle was wearing a seatbelt.

The driver of the pickup that first hit the deer was not injured.

Wilson said the Johnsons were custodians for Mineral Springs School District and were heading to work at the time of the accident.

“I talked to their daughter, and she said both would have wanted to go together,” Wilson said. “One wouldn’t have wanted to live without the other.”
